    Well it got up to Kp 7, was the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year. But it sounds like viewing conditions were pretty poor here.

    Some great pictures here.

    Yeah it is but rte have got my hopes up again:

    Astronomy Ireland has said that there is a strong chance people in Ireland will catch a rare glimpse of the Northern Lights tonight.
    The spectacular display of multi-coloured solar waves were expected to light up the dark sky yesterday but dense cloud led to poor visibility.

    Astronomy Ireland's David Moore says there's a 90% chance people will tonight see the aurora.
